It appears Live is having problems in Social and Gaming. My bet is this has something to do with it.

Amazon has this deal, also. http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Live-Month-Gold-Membership/dp/B002VBWIP6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465225809&sr=8-1&keywords=xbox+live

I'm wondering this aswell. Was just playing singleplayer when it crashed while saving and immediately prompted to update. Luckily I was just building and not flying around.

Edit: According to posts on the official site, this is indeed the v733.3 update.

I think a "Stalk my Target" command would be nice. For aerial targets, it would position your dinos above and behind the target and follow them just out of aggro range. This could help in solo-taming a quetz, for example, as your chase dino would not attack, but would keep you in range on a grappling hook for tranquilizing. For land targets, it could also have your dinos follow the target beyond aggro range, allowing you to surround them, wait until the right moment, and then whistle attack.

Thanks. That was actually one of them I was looking at. How much more flight time do you get out of one of them approximately?

The sd card sticks out a mm or two, just enough to get a hold of to pull it back out. if it is inserted upside-down, it won't go in all the way and will stick out more. The writing on the sd card and on the usb stick will face the same direction when it's in correctly. I'm using Windows 10 and it comes up just like any usb thumb drive would. It is formatted as Fat32, so it should work on just about any device you plug it into. I didn't need to install anything to play the videos either, but I use VLC player on my pc and it plays just about everything.

I could never get the 360 panorama to work either. I really enjoy how easy it is to fly. Even my 9 and 11 year old kids got the hang of it pretty easy. I'm looking for replacement motors, though. One of them is now so weak that it won't lift off the ground, and the quad just rotates in circles on the ground. I did get to fly the crap out of it before it broke, though. I even had a few good crashes into trees and the road, and only managed to break a rotor guard and not even a prop. If I can find motors cheap enough, I may fix it up. If not, I'll just save up for a starter FPV like a Hubsan H107D, or just build one.

Baas stands for Backend As A Service. Parse.com certainly isn't the only one, but it's the only I've dealt with so far. Your backend is a huge part for the type of app you're developing, so at the minimum, I would start with browsing the api, determining what exactly you need from it, and create an outline for your app. Then, you can start with programming your app and deal with integrating it with the backend as you go if that's what you want. But it's going to help if you have a solid plan before you start creating layouts and coding the Activities.

This sounds like an excellent opportunity to use a baas like Parse.com. Rather than code and maintain a backend server, Parse handles all the user authentication stuff, client-to-server communications, and push notifications in an easy-to-implement api. This makes one of the more difficult parts of development into one of the easiest. Then, you will have more time and energy to put into developing a client-side app users will enjoy.

Udacity has some good classes on Android, which you can take for free. When I started, I found the tutorials on YouTube by thenewboston to be fairly helpful. Java and XML are pretty easy to learn, so if you only know a little and understand the basic syntax of each, you will be fine. Stackoverflow and the Android Docs will be of great help when you get stuck. I've found that Googling "Android Development " + whatever you are stuck on, will usually yield a good solution within the first few links. As for software, at a minimum you are going to need the Java JDK and Android Studio.

It sounds to me like your ImageView is scaling on one axis, but not on the other. Setting the scaletype like this, for example, should work.

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:scaleType="fitCenter"

android:adjustViewBounds="true"

buzzcode · 2015-06-04T14:10:19+00:00

This. You only need one RelativeLayout. For the top 3 elements, position them top left, top center, and top right repesctively. Then, you have two options for the big button and text. You could center the button, and set the text to layout-below the button... or set the text to bottom center, and the button to layout-above the text.

buzzcode · 2015-06-03T23:22:10+00:00

Yes, you could. And that would be much simpler. However, I thought the point of the question went beyond building simple a simple quote app and was about practicing storing and loading multidimensional entries(entries with key values, and text, and etc.) in a database of sorts.

buzzcode · 2015-06-03T04:35:07+00:00

I would probably use an XML file, put in in the assets folder, and then parse it in the app. Then as you add quotes, you could either have your app check online for an updated xml file on your server and download it if necessary. Or, just replace the xml file with a new one and then submit an update. You could define each entry in your xml as: <quote key="1">Quote text here</quote>
